Hey everyone,
First let me say that this is the first Feb I can remember that the ground has not been solid as a rock here in P.a. I took advantage of the mild weather here lately. If 28 is mild. As long as that soil is soft I will go out.
We did hit a few 40's and 50's here witch thawed out everything and melted the snow. I haven't been venturing to any new sites. I am waiting for some better prime weather. But I did visit a old park near my home.
I've been hunting this place for yrs. It just will not stop giving. It's all deep signals. I got out for about 10 hrs this month. The highlight was last Sat. I just started to hunt right. Decided to go really slow and hunt very methodically.
I got a solid foil signal plus 12 solid. I dug down about 5 inches pulled some dirt out. Checked the pyle. It was there I see a small coin looked like a clad dime. But read way to low. So I figured button. I started to dust it off and seen three roman numerals on the back. I knew instantly what I had.
Never thought I would find one of these. Don't know if I'll find another either. They are super thin to. Well this one is anyway. It is a 1865. I was pretty happy. Not often do I find a first. Not more than 10 minutes later I catch another deep signal.
VDI was off from the great depth of this quarter. It was hitting a 78. But had a nice silver tone to it. I put the shovel in about a foot deep pry it up and a old silver rolls right out of the middle. App 8 to 10 inches deep. The 1400 coil really grabes them down there.
I knew either seated or barber quarter. Was hoping for a seated but no luck yet. Got alot of barber quarters though over the yrs. Fill the hole sweep it over and about a ft away received another hit. Out pops a 1906 indian. It was a nice 26 cents to recover.
Other than that it was just a few old coins here and there. Found 2 barber dimes a 1907 s under a huge root. Also got a nice 1903 mixed in a hole with a piece from a door plate. Found a 71 keneddy half. Thought for sure a silver half to be in dissapointment when it came out.
Also got a mangled 1875 indian. Why do they have to destroy the rare dates. Got a 1922 trolley token and a 1921 canadian penny. Pulled out 8 wheats to. Also got a war nickle. Plus 2 v nickles a 1893 and a toasted 1901.
Can't wait for the spring. I'll be up and gone every weekend for hrs. Got some nice sites lined up. Finally got a gps to try and track down these old homesteads. Trying to locate some older finds. Pre 1850 silver is on this yrs agenda.
Hope everyone can bear this last little bit of bad weather. If your like me your dieying to get out in full force again.
Thanks for looking,
HH Jeremy
